Work Text:
Another day, another walk in the streets of Seoul. Felix was sitting in the dorm when their new song The Sound had dropped. Felix knew that the new song would be popular. He was so shocked to see how much their popularity had rose within the past three years. However, Felix still struggled with his identity within the group. As this new song dropped, more comments started to roll through about how Felix didn’t have as many lines as other members of the group. Some comments were sad about it. Others mentioned that Felix’s voice didn’t flow with the song. Felix knew that there wasn’t much of a difference between his lines and Minho’s lines, but he still felt that he didn’t give a whole lot to this new album in Japan.
Sure they had been busy. They had a winter album release, the holidays, and award seasons. Felix was shocked at the response to his song “Deep End” but even with that, STAYs around the world commented why his voice wasn’t used more in their regular albums. It made Felix feel great that so many STAYs appreciated his song, but on the other hand he continued to question his place within the group. He knew he was part of Danceracha and he felt comfortable in that role. He knew during their performances, Minho, Hyunjin, and himself were given center positions. He knew that even if he didn’t sing a lot, what he did sing was consistent. He just questioned his place when they dropped songs that didn’t involve the visual or dancing aspect.
As The Sound continued to gain more and more comments about Vocalracha and 3Rachas production, Felix just seemed to get lost in his own thoughts. Felix knew that the positive comments were well deserved for Innie and Seungmin. He would never begrudge them for being front and center for once. He also knew that in a group of 8, no one person could be front and center. However, whenever comments like this came out, it would push Felix to do more googling (which was never a good idea). Felix came across a line distribution video from their debut through Case 143. Even though he knew watching it would only put him in a darker place, he couldn’t help himself.
As he watched the video go through all of their songs and continued to see himself at the bottom of the list, and finally end in last place, it pushed him up and out of his room. He got dressed and told Minho-hyung that he was going for a walk. He knew logically that his members loved him and most of their fans did as well. Days like today just didn’t sit well. It probably didn’t help that he had gotten into it recently with Jinnie.
Their collaboration with Taeyang-hyung had gone great. They enjoyed filming his Vibe challenge. However, after filming, Jinnie was quiet in the car. Then when the Tik-Tok came out last week, Felix could recall the day almost moment by moment:
Felix had run over to Jinnie excitedly as soon as he entered the studio. “Jinnie, did you see Taeyang-hyung’s team posted the collab on Tik-Tok? Have you seen all of the comments? Teayang-hyung’s song is so great” “Yes, Felix, I saw it” Hyunjin responded while walking away to put his bag down and to start stretching. Felix had been surprised the Jinnie seemed to brush him off and was slightly thrown off by Jinnie calling him his given name. “Look Hyunjinnie…Everyone is commenting how this was a great collab. STAY is loving it!” “Yea Felix, they are loving it…but all the comments are about you and not Taeyang-hyung’s song….you went over the top with some of your facials. The comments aren’t even about your dancing. It just looks like you took the attention away from hyung…I hope he isn’t upset.” Hyunjin responded while continuing to stretch. Felix took in a sharp breath and turned away from Hyunjin. They didn’t have much time to talk as they were getting ready for practice. They still had comebacks to prep for, but Hyunjin’s comments nearly broke him.
As the team was prepping for their new Album release in Japan, this was a full practice with all members. Felix tried not to let his feelings show, but he must have given something away at some point. He and Hyunjin didn’t talk again unless it was related to practice. Other than a few correction comments, they barely even looked at each other. Even though he hit his marks, he kept getting side glances from Minho-hyung. When the team was taking a break, Minho-hyung had brought him a water and sat down with him. “Yongbokie, what’s wrong?” “Nothing, Hyung!” Felix responded out of instinct. “Ach..come on Bokkie we are past that..tell hyung what’s wrong.” Felix just put his heads in his hands. He started to sniffle, but held back the tears. “I think Hyunjinnie is mad at me. He said that I stole the spotlight from Taeyang-hyung, and it wasn’t my dancing that did it. He said I was over the top with my facials.” When Felix peeked up at Minho, he could see he was seething . “Ahh Bokkie, aegi, Hyunjin-ah is probably just in a mood. Want me to put him in the air fryer?” Minho had successfully made Felix giggle. Felix was contemplating what else he could say. “Your right Hyung-I should let it go. Let’s get back to practice.” If Minho-hyung was a little harsher with Jinnie for the rest of practice, no one noticed, except Felix. When Felix would look at Minho, Minho would just wink at him or pat his head.
When Minho called for the end of practice, Felix tried to let his feelings go. Everyone was packing up and separating by dorms. He said bye to Channie-hyung like he normally would, with a simple hug and a “see ya later Hyung”. He squeezed Changbin’s biceps and pretended to kiss Sungie good bye. When it came to Jinnie, normally he would give him a back hug while Jinnie would put all his weight on Felix. Jinnie would then turn around give Felix a few head pats while giving him a hug goodbye. This time though, when Felix went to give Jinnie a back hug, Jinnie stepped out of the way and walked towards the door without saying anything. Felix’s face fell and Minho was the first to see. Even Chan noticed, but got waved off by Minho. “Come on Bokkie, let’s go home”
Felix cuddled up to Minho-hyung in the car while Innie and Seugmin went to sleep. Minho just patted Felix’s head until they got back to the dorm. While Innie and Seungmin got out of the car, Felix whispered “I’m fine, hyung. Just going to go up, shower, and go to bed.” “Ok Yongbokie, come to my room to cuddle if you need to.” Felix had decided in the car that he would text Hyunjin to get to the bottom of this.
After talking a shower, Felix pulled out his phone:
Lixie-Pixie 😇:
Hey Jinnie. Is everything ok?
….
(Read 10:09pm)
That was strange. Rarely did Hyunjin leave someone on read. It was either he didn’t see a text and Felix would be on delivered for so long he knew Jinnie was painting or sketching. Or it would be read and immediately responded too. Felix tried to let it go. He pulled up a random game on his phone to try and distract himself. He lasted maybe 15 minutes before switching back to his messages app.
Lixie-Pixie 😇:
Jinnie, are you ok? Did I do something to upset you?
…
(Read 10:33pm)
Felix knew he sounded a little bit desperate, but he couldn’t stand not knowing anymore
Prince 🤴🏼:
(Prince is typing…)
Prince 🤴🏼:
Felix, not everything or everyone is all about you. I’m fine. Things are fine. Go to sleep.
…
(Read 10:35pm)
Lixie-Pixie 😇:
Hyunjin-ah, I don’t make everything about me. You just seemed upset today…at me in particular. Can I call you to talk about this?
(Read 10:36)
Felix decided it would be easier to call and talk about whatever was bothering Jinnie, but after having his 2nd call not answered and the 3rd going straight to voicemail…he had given up.
Lixie-Pixie 😇:
I know your phone is off…I’m coming over to talk.
(Delivered)
Felix decided enough was enough. He knew it probably wasn’t a good idea. Normally when Hunjin was upset, he needed time to calm down. However, Felix couldn’t understand how they got to this place. He got up and put on some outdoor clothes. He walked over to what he called the “hyung minus 1” dorm. When he arrived, he knocked on the door and Sungie answered.
“Hey Lixie, what are you doing here?” Jisung asked.
“Hey Sungie…I’m here to see Jinnie. Is he in his room?” Felix responded.
“He probably is…I haven’t seen him since we got back from practice. Careful Lixie, he seems to be…not pleasant today.”
“Thanks Sungie!”
Felix walked towards Hyunjin’s room. It was a path he knew well. A few times a week, either Felix was here or Jinnie was at his dorm. When he got to Jinnie’s door, he knocked. Hyunjin answered with a scowl on his face, that only seemed to get worse when he saw it was Felix in front of him.
“What do you want Felix? I’m going to bed.” Hyunjin stated flatly.
“Jinnie, are we really going to do this in the hallway? Can’t we talk about whatever I did to make you upset?” Felix asked desperately
“No.” Was the response Felix got. A simple and resounding “No” that also included the door being slammed in his face. Felix could feel the tears tracking down his cheeks. He was about to turn around when he felt a presence at his back. Chan.
“Come here little one.” He felt Chan pull him into a hug and walk him back towards his room. He wasn’t sure how long he stood in the hallway, but it was either long enough (or the door slamming loud enough) to have Chan witness the results.
Felix felt frozen. Hyunjin never reacted this way to Felix. Even when he was mad about Felix struggling with a dance or having a misunderstanding while learning Korean, never has Hyunjin been this mad at Felix. Felix could feel Chan helping him take his outside clothes off. He could feel Chan tucking him into his bed. He felt Chan snuggle up behind him and spoon him. He even felt Chan give him a simple kiss on his head. All the while, silent tears continued to track down his face and now onto Chan’s pillow.
At some point, the tears dried up. He could still feel the solidness of Chan with him. Chan must have noticed the change because he asked “Do you want to talk about it?” Felix responded with a head shake. Eventually, he turned over in Chans arms and wiggled is face into Chan’s neck.
“I’m not even sure what happened hyung. Things with Jinnie have been slightly off since our collab with Taeyang-hyung. But today…today Hyunjin said some things before practice, that weren’t necessarily untrue, but hurt none the less. He then ignored me throughout practice, enough that Minho-hyung noticed. When I got home I tried to text him and he was shutting me out. I thought if I came over, we could talk, but he isn’t even giving me the chance. I don’t know hyung. What did I do?”
“Oh little one. It’s ok.I’m sure you didn’t do anything. What did Hyunjin-ah say that upset you?”
“Nothing too serious” Felix responded trying to downplay how he felt. “He said that I stole the spotlight from Taeyang-hyung and it wasn’t even because of my dancing. I was using too many facials. I guess he wasn’t wrong. I was feeling myself and the song, but a lot of the comments are about me. I should probably reach out to Taeyang-hyung an apologize”
“Oh Lixie. I’m sure Taeyang is fine with what is going down on social media. I’m not sure why Jinnie would say that.” Felix could feel the tightening in Chan’s voice as he tried to hold back his emotions. He could tell that Chan was upset for him, so he tried to cut the tension. “It’s ok Channie-hyung. Jinnie and I will work out whatever is happening. Hey atleast this way I get Aussie cuddles!” Chan chuckled slightly and some of the strain left his muscles. “I just don’t like seeing you upset Lix. I know you feel things with your whole heart and soul. I don’t like to see members take that for granted.” “Thanks Channie-hyung…this is why I love you! Don’t worry about Jinnie. You know how dramatic he can be. He is probably having an off day and I got caught in the cross hairs. It’s happened to all of us.”
Even though Felix didn’t feel much better, he did feel he had calmed Chan down enough where Chan wouldn’t go across the dorm to give Hyunjin a piece of his mind. He did feel slightly better that both Chan-hyung and Minho-hyung were defending him about the Taeyang situation, but he should still probably reach out to the older just to make sure everything is ok. He decided he would do that soon, right before falling asleep in Chan’s comfy arms.
Felix came back to his current reality. As he continued to walk the streets of Seoul he realized he never did reach out to Taeyang-hyung. He had spent this last week feeling upset about Hyunjin. Hyunjin was still ignoring him. He would talk to Felix while filming or in a group situation if needed. However, Felix felt as if there wasn’t anything he could do. He tried texting Hyunjin a few more times, only to be left on read. He didn’t go back to the other dorm. After waking up in Chan’s room the next day, he had literally run into Hyunjin. Hyunjin acted like he just stepped in dog poop. Felix thought he would walk away, but he did hear Hyunjin mutter under his breath “Going from one hyung to the next, I see” Felix had no idea what Jinnie was talking about. He also knew that there would be no forcing Hyunjin to talk about anything. So, he spent the week quietly hoping that Jinnie would be ready to talk.
He could tell their situation was affecting the group. Minho and Chan would run interference between them and the younger members. One of his two oldest hyungs would be by his side during filming to try and reduce any awkwardness. Whenever Hyunjin would see Felix wrapped up by Chan or being given head pats by Minho, he would just scoff. It almost seemed like the more Felix interacted with others in their group, the more angry Hyunjin got.
As he continued to walk the street, he decided he would head towards the studio. At least there he could maybe work out his feelings of not being a great dancer or using appropriate facial expressions (according to Hyunjin’s comment). He could also work out his feelings of inadequacy with this new release. After all, how could he get more lines if he didn’t practice. He knew Chan and Minho both would be disagreeing with this thought processes, but this is just where he was at.
As he walked toward JYPE, he continued to think about the different situations that occurred between him and Jinnie since the new year. He remembered Jinnie being a little stand-offish while filming with Taeyang-hyung. The collab started off great. Taeyang had sent them the tutorial for the dance prior to filming. They spent some time just talking. Taeyang had lots of praises for both of them. He encouraged them to keep fighting when things got tough. He even gave Felix a hug when he had messed up one of the takes. Towards the end of shooting, that’s when Hyunjin got quiet. He left it up to Felix to thank Taeyang hyung for the opportunity. They both got in the car and left. Hyunjin had been quiet, but Felix assumed it was from the decent workout they just got.
Felix also remembered a time earlier this month, when the group ran into Ateez. It looked like Ateez was finishing up filming at a location and SKZ was checking out the spot to see if it would be a good place for a future music video. The two groups got to talking and catching up from their time on Kingdom. The two groups agreed to go out to dinner together after they both finished their days activities. They went to get BBQ and Felix ended up sitting between San and Wooyoung. During dinner, Jinnie kept glancing at Felix, but overall seemed quiet. He engaged in conversation, but didn’t really seem to be enjoying himself. Felix would check in on him, but he also enjoying talking with San hyung and Wooyoung hyung. Felix enjoyed their time together on Kingdom and loved how open they were in their relationship. While not officially out to Korean society, their fandom (and the rest of the idol world) knew the two were inseparable. Felix loved that they treated him as the baby of Mayfly, even though Innie was technically the maknae of the unit. Felix cuddled up and play flirted with Wooyoung-hyung, only to get teased and tickled by San-hyung. Felix was having a blast talking about Tik-Tok trends and other topics. At the end of the evening, he caught a stare from Jinnie. Jinnie walked to him and grabbed his hand as they said goodbye to the other group. Felix was surprised as Jinnie wasn’t big on skinship in public. That evening as they cuddled in Felix’s bed, Felix questioned “Jinnie are you ok?” Hyunjin sighed and responded “Yes my Lixie-Pixie…Tonight just reminded me of how much I missed during Kingdom and how much I missed you…and the members on my hiatus. You seemed really close to Wooyoung-ssi and San-ssi?” Jinnie phrased the statement as a question. “Well we were close during the mayfly unit. Wooyoung had to catch me after all. Plus San-hyung was a worry wart the whole time. Afraid either I or his precious Wooyoungie would be hurt.” Jinnie seemed to perk up at the last statement. “Oh are he and Wooyoung…” Hyunjin asked. “Yea Jinnie. They are. Is that ok?” “Of course Lixie, you know I don’t care about who loves who. You just seemed a little close to them tonight. Just needed to know if I needed to have a talking to anyone” “Oh Jinnie my big bad protector! Don’t worry! You are the only one I’m going home with (plus the six other bozos of our group)” Both Felix and Hyunjin giggled before falling peacefully asleep.
Felix remembered falling asleep in Jinnie’s arms that night. He remembered thinking that Hyunjin seemed a little jealous of his flirting. He brushed it off as he continued to walk to JYPE. After all wasn’t it just this week that Hyunjin accused Felix of making everything about himself. There was no way Hyunjin would actually be jealous of Felix’s interactions with others.
Felix still couldn’t shake off his feelings. His feelings of Hyunjin being mad at him. His feelings of not being fully part of the group. His feelings that maybe he should have stayed eliminated. He was just feeling too much. Maybe that’s why he wasn’t paying attention when he went to cross the street in front of JYPE. Maybe that’s why he didn’t notice the two lights headed straight for him…..
—————————————————————————
The next thing Felix knew he was waking up to sounds of beeping. He recalls feeling emotionally overwhelmed. Now he feels physically overwhelmed. Every part of his body hurts. He could hear the machines beep faster. Something internally told him that he needed to calm down. He started his mediation strategy he used on days when he had a hard time falling asleep. He did a full body check. He squeezed the muscles in his toes, his legs, thighs, back, neck, shoulders, arms, hands. He repeated in that order until he felt himself calm down. While squeezing his muscles, he realized everything still works. He must not be too injured as he can feel all parts of his body. He still feels like he was hit by a truck…
“Well you kinda were” a kind voice said from next to him.
Felix startled and tried to look to his side but was stopped by something. “Sorry, I didn’t think I was talking out loud….wait did you say I was hit by a truck?”
“Well you were hit by a small delivery truck. Thankfully, they were slowing down for the traffic light and were almost at a stop when they hit you, but you still flew about 5ft from the truck and hit your head on the concrete. Thankfully nothing seems broken. They are still waiting for your head scans to come back”
“Wait…I hit my head?” That would explain some of the fuzziness he felt. Felix tried to turn his head again to see who was sitting next to him but was stopped by what he realized now was a neck brace. “I’m sorry, I’m having a hard time seeing who you are…”
“Don’t worry Felix-ah. It’s me, Taeyang-hyung. I happened to be leaving JYPE when I saw the driver hit you. I couldn’t leave you to fend for yourself. Not with these vultures of a media asking about anything idol related. When the ambulance arrived, I rode with you to the hospital while I reached out to JYP himself. I’m assuming your team is being notified now.”
“Oh no….I’m so sorry Taeyang-hyung. You didn’t have to do all this. I appreciate you helping me, but I also understand if you want to leave. You shouldn’t have to take care of me, after what I did to you!”
“Felix-ah…calm down. What did you do to me? Maybe your head was hit harder than I thought. Felixie…don’t cry.” Felix hadn’t even realized he was crying until he heard Taeyang-hyung coo’ing at him. He was just overwhelmed by everything. “I’m so sorry Taeyang-hyung. I didn’t mean to mess up our collaboration and take the spotlight from you and your song. I apologize deeply and am willing to make it up to you!” Felix wailed. “Oh aegiya…you didn’t mess up anything. Everyone loves our collab. Including me. Calm down. Who told you I was upset..huh…tell hyungie?” as Taeyang-hyung was patting Felix’s head avoiding the obvious bump, both he and Felix could hear commotion in the hall.
Felix tried to stop his tears, but it was all just too much. He couldn’t believe everything that had happened the last week. Everyone was mad at him and he was in the hospital. He couldn’t stop the tears if he tried. He also couldn’t move because of the brace he was in. He was crying and tired when all of a sudden, his door flew open and 7 men in their twenties in haphazard states of dress were in his small private room. Chan, Minho, and Hyunjin were first into the door and the first to see who was with Felix. Eventually everyone in the room froze when they realized who was by Felix’s bed, patting his head. Hyunjin was the first to speak, “What are YOU doing here? Get away from him…you are upsetting him.”
“Hyunjin-ah…calm down. We don’t know what happened.” Chan responded cooly even if he slightly agreed with Hyunjin.
“I’m ok guys. I was out for a walk when I decided to go practice at the studio. I was crossing the road and remember seeing light. Taeyang-hyung apparently was leaving the building when he saw me get hit by a small delivery truck. He got in the ambulance with me to help with the idol situation and got a hold of JYP…which is how I’m assuming you came to be here too..” Felix almost had enough talking and was starting to feel very dizzy. He felt Taeyang stop petting his head and felt Hyunjin by his side instead. He assumed the parents of the group were getting more info out of Taeyang. He felt more than saw the rest of the group.
“If you are ok, than why were you crying Lixie-Pixie?” It was the first time Jinnie had spoken to him in over a week. The first time he had heard his nickname. It was too much. Felix started crying again and eventually felt himself drift off into unconsciousness.
————————————————————————
When Felix next woke up, the soreness of his body was slightly better. However, the pain in his head was much worse. Felix could barely open his eyes because of the lights and headache blooming behind his eyes. He felt someone squeeze his hand. He felt someone put a straw to his lips and he took a few sips of cool water. He then felt a cup get out into his hand. It felt like their were some pills in the cup. He swallowed the contents of the cup and took some more water. Felix still didn’t know who was by his side, but he appreciated them helping him none the less.
After a few more hours of drifting off in unconsciousness, Felix was woken by two voices talking.
“Look, I know he means more to you. But you hurt him with your comments. There are reasons he was out walking tonight.”
“I know hyung. I want to make it right. How can I though? He probably hates me”
“Believe me Jinnie. Bokkie cares more about you than I think you will ever realize” Felix was finally able to put the pieces together that Minho-hyung and Jinnie were talking about him before he drifted back off.
The next time Felix woke up, he felt like he had been sleeping fitfully for 12 hours. He was able to open his eyes, but still felt pain behind his eyes. He felt someone put another cup of pills in his hand and bring the straw to his mouth. He took his medicine and was able to gruffly say “thank you.”
“It’s no problem Lixie-Pixie”
When Felix opened his eyes, he saw a beautiful yet tired Jinnie next to his bed. “Hi Jinnie” Felix responded meekly. “Hi Lixie-pixie” Jinnie responded with a soft smile on his face. “Where are the rest of the guys?” Felix asked. “Well at about 2am they kicked all but two of us out. Channie hyung is here trying to find unburnt coffee. Minho-hyung took the rest home under much protest. Don’t be surprised if they show back up during visitor hours at 8am…which is in 4 hours” “Oh wow. Ok. I was only asleep for 4 hours, it felt longer.” “Oh Lixie-pixie…you have been out for two days. It’s 4am two days after your accident. You weren’t in a coma, but your brain was resting to heal from a pretty severe concussion. They guys were kicked out about two hours after you feel back asleep the day of the accident. They have been coming during visitor hours to keep you company” Felix was shocked. “Yea we were nervous for a while, Lixie.” Felix could hear the quiver in Hyunjin’s voice. “We love you so much Lixie. I’m sorry about our fight. It’s completely my fault. You wouldn’t have been out that night if it wasn’t for me. Taeyang-hyung told us about your comments when you woke up the first time. He was mad that someone had put those ideas in your head. That someone was me…I’m so sorry Lixie. I have been talking to Minho-hyung and Chan-hyung too. I’m an idiot Lixie.” Hyunjin was near sobbing.
“Jinnie, calm down. I’m ok. We are ok. Yea I was thinking a lot about our fight and why I couldn’t be good enough. But those are my thoughts not yours. It was my own inattention that made me step out into the street without looking. Can you atleast tell me what’s been happening this week?”
“I was mad at you because I thought you liked Taeyang-hyung. At filming, he was all over you. Then when everything was released, you couldn’t stop talking about it. All the comments were about Felix and Taeyang. I was an idiot. I still am an idiot. I’m sorry Lixie-Pixie. You NEVER did anything wrong. It was all in my head.” Hyunjin stated emphatically that Felix couldn’t help but believe him.
“Jinnie, the one thing I don’t understand is why you would be mad if I did like someone. This is feeling a little bit like the San/Wooyoung situation. You were quiet then too, but we were able to talk about it. Why couldn’t we talk about this situation?” Felix asked
“Lixie, I don’t know how to say this without putting our friendship at risk. I’m not sure I should even say this, but after feeling the worst fear in my life by Chan waking me up saying you were hit by a truck and in the hospital, I have to say it. I love you. I love you more than just a member. I love you more than just a friend. You are my best friend, but you are more than that. Seeing you with others makes me irrationally angry and protective. However, you aren’t technically mine to protect, so I didn’t know how to handle those feelings and took them out on you instead.” Hyunjin looked straight at Felix while confessing.
Felix couldn’t handle it. He was still wrapping his head around the fact that Hyunjin was talking to him, apologizing to him. Now he was confessing. Felix wasn’t sure if it was the concussion that made him state “Oh this is a dream. There is no way real Hyunjin would feel this way.”
“Yes Lixie. I very much feel this way. I want you to be mine as much as we can be in our field of work. I want to know that you will only come home to me like you said earlier this month. I know I will probably have to say it again and again until you believe me, but I love you.”
Felix smiled as he closed his eyes and felt Hyunjin, his Jinnie, squeeze his hand in real life. “I love you too Jinnie” Felix said as he drifted off into one last pain free sleep.
————————————————————————
Felix felt his eyes flutter open. He felt he finally had a good rest. His head still hurt, but based off what Hyunjin told him, it was too be expected. He felt someone put the straw to his lips as he took another sip. “Thank you jagiya” Felix whispered. “Well Bokkie, that’s a new one. I can be your Jagiya, but you may need to fight Sungie on that one. Either way you will always be my Bokkie aegiya” Felix groaned when he realized it wasn’t Hyunjin next to him, but instead it was his Minho-hyung.
“Hyung…where is Jinnie? He wouldn’t be making fun of me in my sick bed?”
“Oh have we made up with Jinnie already, aegiya?” Minho chuckled. “If so, you will be happy to know that Jinnie is meeting with the nurses to learn how to change your bandages on your head so we can get you home. Chan hyung is with him too”
“Oh that’s fantastic hyung. You know how much I hate hospitals.” Felix sighed in relief.
Minho helped Felix sit up. Felix had been cleared of any neck or back injuries a few days ago. The doctors were just waiting for a Felix to wake up and stay awake. As long as he stayed awake this afternoon, Felix could be discharged home this evening. He had a concussion and a bruised brain, but his scans came back good. He would need to take it easy and rest. He wouldn’t be allowed to dance for a bit, but thankfully they had a short break coming up. Felix had originally planned to go visit Australia with Chan, but it was determined it wouldn’t be safe for him to fly. Instead, Felix spent the afternoon catching up on what he missed and what would be coming up. Minho had caught him up on a lot of details. While he was tired, he was happy to report that he didn’t feel fuzzy. He felt like he could remember details. Details such as Jinnie’s confession.
Felix had politely asked Chan and Minho to find him some tea so he could talk to Hyunjin.
“So did I dream up our conversation or did it really happen?” Felix shyly asked Hyunjin.
“Oh it happened, nae sarang.” Hyunjin responded smoothly. “You are moving into our dorm for a while, so that Chan Hyung and I can watch over you. You may or may not be moving in my room, so I can keep a close eye on you. As soon as you said you loved me too, you sealed your fate Lixie. I’m not letting you go now”
“Oh Jinnie, I never want to be let go. I love you jagiya”
“I love you too my Lixie-Pixie”
—————————————————————————
Minho sighed while peeking through the window. He witnessed Hyunjin lean down to kiss Felix on the forehead. “So are you going to have the same talk with them that you had with Sungie and I?” Minho smirked at Chan. “Of course…they may need a more in-depth talk than you did. You see how possessive Hyunjin was before, it’s only going to get worse now” Chan sighed while putting his head in his hands. Chan loved all of his kids, but Felix was like a brother to him. He wasn’t looking forward to that conversation but he knew it needed to be done. This is what he gets for having 7 kids to deal with! He prayed to the idol heavens that his kids wouldn’t drive him crazy this year, but it didn’t seem like the 2023 year is off to a good start! Chan sighed as he knocked on the door to give ample warning. “All right, let’s get our stray kid back to his home!
